Right now, the hot topic of conversation in the self defense community is the sub-compact class of carry pistols dubbed the 'Micro Nines,’ which are becoming ever more prevalent in the current market.

Watch this American Rifleman Television segment of Rifleman Review from 2019 to learn more about the Taurus 1911 Commander chambered in .45 ACP.

A micro red-dot mounted atop a handgun can be a very useful little tool, but not all optics and optics-ready pistols play well together, creating a potentially confusing situation for prospective buyers. With this resource, we attempt to clear the air.

Based off the .45 Colt with twice the velocity, for the past six decades the .454 Casull cartridge has gained popularity for its power and has grown into a plentiful chambering option for magnum revolver enthusiasts. 

In 2019, Taurus Int’l made the business decision to set aside the company’s more unusual and exotic offerings. Instead, the team focused its efforts on improving product quality and manufacturing consistency while continuing to offer reliable handgun options that met its customers’ needs at affordable prices.

On this week of American Rifleman Television, we go behind the scenes at Remington's ammunition plant in Lonoke, Ark., test out the Taurus TX22 Competition and look back and the French M1886 Lebel.

Taurus, following the recent trend towards optic adaptable handguns for personal defense, released an optic-ready version of the G3 striker-fired pistol, the G3 T.O.R.O.

Following the current growing trend of optic-ready handguns, Taurus has adapted several of its handguns to accept micro red-dot sights, including the new rimfire TX22 Competition chambered in .22 LR.  

The Taurus C45 Thunderbolt, despite not being offered since production stopped in 2010, still ranks at the top of the list a decade later, being the fourth most sold pump-action rifle of 2020.
